In "The History of the Rise, Increase, and Progress of the Christian People Called Quakers," William Sewel meticulously chronicles the origins and evolution of the Quaker movement from its inception in the 17th century to the height of its influence. Employing a narrative style that blends anecdotal evidence with theological exposition, Sewel's work offers not only a historical account but also a profound meditation on the spiritual philosophy underpinning Quakerism. This detailed examination aids in understanding the socio-political context of the period, marked by religious turbulence and increasing dissent against established norms. William Sewel, born in 1653 in the Netherlands to a Quaker family, was deeply enmeshed in the values of simplicity and spirituality that characterized the movement. His firsthand experiences of persecution and his intellectual pursuits were pivotal in shaping this comprehensive narrative. Sewel's work stands as a testament to his commitment to preserving the Quaker legacy for future generations while providing a thoughtful analysis of the challenges faced by the community. This seminal work is an essential read for anyone interested in religious history, social movements, or the development of Quaker thought. Sewel's scholarship remains invaluable for students, historians, and practitioners alike, illuminating the resilience of a faith tradition that continues to inspire and challenge societal norms.

This landmark volume is the first in a century to examine the “Second Period” of Quakerism, a time when the Religious Society of Friends experienced upheavals in theology, authority and institutional structures, and political trajectories as a result of the persecution Quakers faced in the first decades of the movement’s existence. The authors and special contributors explore the early growth of Quakerism, assess important developments in Quaker faith and practice, and show how Friends coped with the challenges posed by external and internal threats in the final years of the Stuart age—not only in Europe and North America but also in locations such as the Caribbean. This groundbreaking collection sheds new light on a range of subjects, including the often tense relations between Quakers and the authorities, the role of female Friends during the Second Period, the effect of major industrial development on Quakerism, and comparisons between founder George Fox and the younger generation of Quakers, such as Robert Barclay, George Keith, and William Penn. Accessible, well-researched, and seamlessly comprehensive, The Quakers, 1656–1723 promises to reinvigorate a conversation largely ignored by scholarship over the last century and to become the definitive work on this important era in Quaker history. In addition to the authors, the contributors are Erin Bell, Raymond Brown, J. William Frost, Emma Lapsansky-Werner, Robynne Rogers Healey, Alan P. F. Sell, and George Southcombe.

There is a troublesome dilemma facing believers in a variety of minority religions and sects: how to resolve the demands of their faith and yet participate in the larger community. This book explores that dilemma by a micro-study of one congregation (monthly meeting) and the seventeen surname families that were part of that meeting for one hundred years. By looking at a single meeting and a group of discrete families, there is a sense of both forward movement and reluctance to change.
